Next Steps
Overview
2
Health Expenditures: 1975 to 2010
3
Current Health Care Climate
4
> In 2010, health care spending reached an estimated $191 billion
> Regions and facilities facing budget cuts
– Providers asked to do more with less
> Leaders considering new funding models
– Activity based funding
– Pay for performance funding
– Service based funding
Room for Improvement
>Sometimes providing appropriate care means doing less.
5
Number of Knee Arthroscopies
6
Over 3,600 knee arthroscopies
in 2008-2009
Total cost of knee arthroscopies across Canada in 2008–2009
more than $4.0 million
Impact on System
7
C-Sections Across Canada
> C-Section rates steadily increasing since 1996
> Rates of C-sections from province to province vary widely
– Variation in rates almost double across provinces and triple across territories
– Newfoundland and Labrador has highest rate at 23%
– Manitoba has lowest rate at 14%
> Range of variation suggests some C-sections performed may not be appropriate or necessary
8
Reductions in C-Sections and Estimated Cost Savings if All Provinces Achieved Manitoba’s C-Section Rate of 14%of All Deliveries in 2008–2009
9
If BC hysterectomy rates were applied across Canada…
> Hysterectomy rates also vary widely across
– Variation is threefold across provinces and territories
– PEI has highest rate at 512 women
– BC has lowest rate at 311 women
10
...we’d see a 11% reduction in hysterectomies and a savings of more than $19 million
Reductions in Hysterectomies and Estimated Cost Savings if All Provinces Achieved British Columbia’s Hysterectomy Rate of 311 per 100,000 Population in 2008–2009
11
Appropriate Care
>Providing the right care, to the right person, in the right setting at the right time
12
Percentage of Diabetics who Received Recommended Care Components: 2007
13
Alternate Level of Care: 2008–2009
14
Discharge Destinations for ALC Patients: 2008–2009
15
When Effort Creates Results
>Providing the right care, to the right person, in the right setting at the right time
16
Annual 30-Day AMI In-Hospital Mortalityand Unplanned AMI Readmission Rates,Canada, 2003–2004 to 2009–2010
17
If BC heart attack rates were applied across Canada…
> Heart attack rates still vary widely across Canada
– BC has lowest rate (~150 per 100,000)
– Newfoundland and Labrador has highest rate
(~350 per 100,000)
> Cost of caring for a heart attack patient is $9,400
18
...we’d see a 22% reduction in heart attacks and a savings of $125 million
Estimated Reduction in Heart Attack Hospitalization and Cost Savings if All Jurisdictions Had British Columbia’s Rate, 2008–2009
19
Improvements in HSMR Results Over Time
20
•Continue to monitor the health care system and ask questions about appropriateness of care
•Develop more sophisticated ways to measure outcomes of care
• Work towards collecting and using health outcome data to tell us about effective care
• Identify outcome indicators that could be developed using existing data
• Partnerships where possible
